The Simpsons died for me years ago, though the movie wasn't terrible, I just watched Dial N for Nerder as someone recommended it and meh, it was all right, not awful, but nowhere near a good Simpsons episode.Chojin said:
Anyhoo, back to the good stuff that came from this thread,
The non out-takes Summer Glau/Eliza Dushku video is also awesome:

Better than the new opening gif time:

It isn't unexpected that a person with no personality would not be able to find it.omg rite said:

That was pretty lame. The "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" reference was clever though.

Wow, as a hardcore old school simpsons elitist, I have to say that was awesome. I expected it to be shit like almost everything that is on the show these days, but there were so many great references in the new opening. The couch gag was meh at best, but outside of that I was amazed by the quality.
I'm completely confident that whoever is complaining about it would complain if it was made back when the simpsons were great and just released now.

I agree, the animation used in the older episodes are way better than the one used on the new ones. Just compare something like homer in the land of chocolate, the shinning episode, or the Indiana Jones parody to some of the new stuff, the new animation just looks stale and is no match to the one used in earlier seasons.

Is this one of those weird things where white people think everything looks alike? Like you focus on one thing and therefore anything like that (brown wavy hair) automagically makes it look the same?
You know how its always some black guy who did it?
Know what I'm saying?

Try finding something from the exceedingly restrained, visually stale modern Simpsons that compares.

Pretty nice. Remains true to the original, with lots of cool little references - maybe too many references, as it's kinda cluttered. I'm not gonna get worked up over it... it's not like i watch The Simpsons anymore.
More visual awesome from older Simpsons' episodes:

It's all about the writing though. No one would have animated that without the writing to back up that scene. The reason and the only reason the new Simpsons sucks is due to the writing.
Here is an example of South Park which has exceedingly improved their animation over the years and none of it was handdrawn. Things like 'The Land of Chocolate' CAN be done with the new animation of the Simpons it's just that the writers don't know how to do that anymore.

Perfect example of better animation and great writing creating great suddlety. Infact it was done in less time than the Simpsons animation process.

It has more to do with the fact that modern Simpsons are drawn to be as "withing-the-style" as it is possible. Animators are too afraid of going off-model and they can't create actually entertaining visuals. Adult Swim's SuperJail is animated on Flash of all things yet it looks fucking incredible thanks to the level of creative freedom allowed to the artistic staff.

The best example of the robotic and lifeless new Simpsons animation is watching Marge and Maggie in the checkout line in the new intro. Their arms swing lifelessly from a static joint and their heads move like a puppeteer is in control.

Reminded me of old Simpsons more than anything. Couch thing wasn't funny though.
Does anyone watch the Simpsons and not think it's as terrible as many people say? I mean, someone must enjoy it, otherwise it wouldn't STILL be on.
I saw an episode where they were tracking Bart via his cell phone and I didn't think it was bad. I mean it wasn't the quality of the 90's episodes, but nothing about it made me think it was bad.

Dude you're like this about every show. Accept that you have much lower standards on everything than the rest of us.omg rite said:
Current Simpsons is mostly held up by the young audience that wasn't around when it was better. They like the goofy shit that's there and don't remember a time when the show meant something.
btw, for "classic" Simpson fans, this microblog is the best thing ever: http://eyeonspringfield.tumblr.com/

I don't have "lower standards" on anything. And considering I was shitting on Life On Mars this week, saying I'm "like this with every show" would be wrong.
The fact is, I just don't like being negative, so I try not to bitch about stuff I don't like, and that's not even all the time.
I said I saw one episode and didn't think it was horrible. I didn't even say it was GOOD. I said I didn't think it was terrible. I simply asked if anyone actually liked the show now, trying to have some sort of adult conversation about the show, and you have to type up some pretentious shit about me as a person? How about you just reply with your second paragraph, which makes sense, instead of insulting me for no reason.
